Real-Time OKC Streetcar Map Goes “Live”

July 30, 2020

As OKC Streetcar continues its second year of service in downtown Oklahoma City, the system is launching real-time tracking capabilities for the OKC Streetcar.

The real-time map, made possible by a partnership with U.S. Fleet Tracking, is designed for use on both mobile devices and desktop computers. The tracking service is an extension of the arrival time tracking already in place on platform stops.

“Our OKC Streetcar existing customers want to know, reliably, when to expect the next streetcar,” said Jason Ferbrache, EMBARK director. “We have listened to customer feedback, and developed this map to deliver reliable, real-time information.”

The real-time map can be accessed anytime at realtime.okcstreetcar.com. Ferbrache said that EMBARK has a few tips for users of the new map:

• Vehicle Tip: Click or tap on the streetcar to know which route it is serving (Bricktown or Downtown Loop);
• Stop information panels – Click or tap on the “i” (information icon) to see a particular stop’s arrival times, alerts, and directions.
  • ETA Tip: Note that if a streetcar is at the platform, the ETA (estimated time of arrival) is automatically shifted to the next arriving streetcar time. In that case, it is possible for a vehicle to be at a stop and the ETA will show the next arriving streetcar.
• Mobile Device Tips:
  • Turn layers on/off using the menu icon in the header of the page.
  • Always refresh the page if you leave the site loaded in a browser tab.

The next phase of the project will bring the map to the platforms this fall. Customers can purchase tickets for the OKC Streetcar using the Token Transit app, available for iOS and Android devices.
